Costa’s a devil but you want him in your side. Diego Costa has dominated the headlines in recent days and he will miss three games for his stamp on Emre Can.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers was furious with the incident, while Jose Mourinho feels Costa is the subject of a campaign and is being treated unfairly. It seems like we have been here before with this row, only the roles have been reversed. Costa has been compared with Luis Suarez for good reason. Last season at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho rounded on Suarez and called him a diver, saying he did an ‘acrobatic swimming-pool jump to try and get a penalty’.

When the boot was on the other foot and the same accusation was made of Costa, after a game against Hull in December, Mourinho said: ‘When he was at Atletico, he created a certain image and people don’t believe he can change.’ Rodgers was furious with Costa’s action on Can but when the same accusation was made of Suarez, by David Moyes, who felt Luis should have been sent off for a challenge on Sylvain Distin at Goodison Park in October 2012, the Liverpool boss said: ‘It was a fraction out. He tried to play the ball.’

What this all proves more than anything is that if you are a manager, a player or a fan, you want someone with the devilment of Costa or Suarez in your side. If they happen to come up against you, however, they become Public Enemy No 1. That will never change.

One out of 7(8) a success.

If you were FSG you'd tell him to **** right off if he came looking for more cash for a forward.

I notice their chairman quickly coming out today saying it's PL rules that a player cant be bought and loaned back immediately. I reckon the deal has been done though on the quiet. I fully expect Rodgers to have paid for Ings already. If not Rodgers and Liverpool then some other PL team will have a cast iron 'understanding' that Ings is theirs in the summer. Rather than go to a tribunal in the summer for compo, I'm sure Burnley will have agreed on a nod and a wink to cash now that they can count on to spend this window.
 

Rogers apparently wants to play pretty quick passing football... so goes and buys a striker from the team that has played the second most long balls IN EUROPE this season... after buying tugboat Ricky in the summer....

Another myth debunked by fraud Rogers

How does that work with that Origi then mate?

Just curious, but actually, it's just because they're Special Dispensation FC isn't it?
